Easily one of the most unusual television specials aired last night on CBS, but it was filled with a lot of celebrities and musical delight.

“Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala” featured a lot of music, runway dogs in Dolly’s pet line, and segments like military dogs being trained for service.

Dolly said of the event…

“I love animals. I’ve got all kinds, and of course, I’ve always had little dogs around, and big ones! We’re going to have some of all kinds and colors on the show, and there is nothing more fun to me than when little animals do what they do best, and I’m looking forward to it! There is so much fun stuff, and I know all the animal lovers out there are going to love this show.”

She kicked off the 2-hour special with a song she wrote when she was 11 years old, “Puppy Love”.

The special also featured performances from Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Chris Janson, and KC of KC and the Sunshine Band.

Plus celebrity pet owners like Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Margaret Cho, Neil Patrick Harris, Carson Kressley, Jim Nantz, and Jessica Simpson stopped by.

The special is now streaming on Paramount+.
